What was McDonalds thinking???





Last night we took the kids to McDonalds for happy meals. (I promise we DON'T do this often!) Jake quickly noticed that they were handing out new toys. They had both girls toy and boys toys so we, of course got one of each. Jake got a super cool Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. When the turtles head is smashed down (who thought of this???) a little motercycle guy spills out of his turtle shell.

Kiah on the other hand, was not as thrilled with her toy. Evidently they are giving away Wizard Of Oz figures. When I first saw the advertisement on the big ordering board... hey... I thought it might be pretty cool. HOWEVER, when we pulled the figure out of the bag and opened it... Kiah took 1 look at it, tossed it on the floor of the car and starting crying. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING when they made these horrible versions of the characters!!! Kiah is scared of it and Jake simply said "EW!". This thing has been picked up and thrown down more times than the plastic kicking balls we have in the backyard! Right now it is laying face down.... on the carpet.... in the far end of the family room. Unless it gets up and walks by itself (by looking at it... this MAY happen)... I think it will be laying there for awhile as NO KID in this house wants to look at it let alone PLAY with it!

Next time Kiah will be getting a boy toy.

Oh.my.gosh. That is horrific!! And people were scared of my cute "Bebe" I use in my header. I should show them this so they can understand the definition of scary doll! Poor Kiah... I would have cried too : o )
